The beginning...






















Got insomniac, nothing could put me to sleep after a strong cup of cold tea (forgot it on the cold floor) O_o. Over years, I spent most of my time on the internet, surfing, reading, wandering from forum to forum like a bee, and especially interacting. I hate lurking*, which is too passive in such active world. My regret is, I mingled with different kinds of people in different corners of the web sphere, but couldn’t stay in touch with. Discussed hundred of topics & developed endless threads, but lost track of them.
Ideas flow though my neurons like a crazy flood, and by just talking they are, in best cases, heard and forgotten. But, writing is another thing. It’s anchoring them on the shore of time.
From now on, I’m goin’ to chain what I can on this pole, and pin what I can on this board.
Hope to see you soon…

Man with a bat tries to rob a store in NY, but he changed his mind.......



While watching this very video, a myriad of thoughts and ideas flooded and overwhelmed my brains dam. Islam doesn’t need big words or long discussions to unveil its greatness, sometimes a simple honest kind word or action saves lots of speeches. This man for example, with his modest knowledge about Islam did what maybe tens of our imams didn’t.
I remember when I watched in Al-Jazeera a show about Muslims in Malaysia and how do they behave. I was astonished by the answer of one of the folks out there. He said: “we don’t know Islam as much as Arabs do, but we apply what we do know”! I halted, and said to myself, how many Islamic books have I read before –Hundreds since I passed from the illiterates to literates’ zone- and didn’t apply what were in? I guess it won’t surpass a 1/10 at the best. This is our problem as Arab Muslims, we are just like the cock that knows the prayers’ time and doesn’t pray…
